The three men closed the doors and windows, sat under the candlesticks, and did not say a word for a long time. Wanying was about to ask, when a maid outside shouted into the hall, "The master is here." ”

While speaking, the master had already entered the courtyard, and the three of them greeted them under the porch, Yun Niang opened the curtain, and the family of three entered the hall.

"Master, it's so late today, why are you here again?"

"I saw Laneige coming out of your yard from a distance just now, what is she doing so late?"

Aunt Lin waved her hand at Wanying, signaling Wanying to retreat, Yunniang took Wanying out and went up to the attic, without saying anything.

"Master, have you felt loose these days?"

"My body is still the same, but my spirit is much better than before."

"Illness comes like a mountain, illness goes like a thread, the master will slowly raise it little by little, and it will get better."

Master Shi nodded, and then continued to ask, "What did Lanzhi do when he came to you just now?" ”

Although the autumn coolness was not too much, Aunt Lin was still worried that Master Shi was catching a cold, so she took a cotton cloak, draped it on Master Shi, moved the candlestick to the wooden table between the two seats, and pulled a thin jacket to put it on, and then sat down to talk to Master Shi.

"Master, Wanyun and Wanying are sisters, Wanrong is sisters, this time the sisters are in the palace, Lanzhi is anxious."

"She came to you for this?" Master Shi asked kindly, after all, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and Wanrong is also his own daughter.

"That's exactly what it's for."

"In the past few years, everything has been cumbersome, and it is true that Wanrong has been neglected, and it has been orderly since ancient times, and it is my negligence as a father."

Aunt Lin heard that Master Shi also felt sorry for Wanrong's marriage, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. After thinking about it, I found the best way to test whether Master Shi agreed to marry the Liu family.

"It's no wonder that the master, although the young and the old are orderly, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and the younger sister leaves home first, and it can only be said that the emperor's order is difficult to disobey. According to the master's thoughts, he must feel sorry for his daughters, so he is reluctant to let them marry early. It's just that it's expedient now, and the master doesn't want to miss Wanrong. ”

That's exactly what happened. The younger sisters went out first, which was really a helpless move, and Zhong Yuan still didn't want our Wanying to leave home so early. ”

Aunt Lin can always iron the pimples in the hearts of the teachers comfortably. This is the reason why the master lingers in the Cherished Treasure Pavilion.

Obviously, it is the teacher who is the intermediary of Aunt Li, so in the past few years, the concern for their mother and daughter has been wasted, even if it is trivial, after all, it is the teacher himself who delays Wanrong. According to the old practice, the younger sister can only marry after the elder sister marries, and the younger brother can only start a family after the elder brother marries. Now the two younger sisters are marrying before their sisters at the same time, which is really embarrassing. It's no wonder that Aunt Li is in a hurry.

Aunt Lin saw that the master was a little relieved, and deliberately teased the master and said: "I just said that the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, and in the blink of an eye, I said that I was only reluctant to be Wanying, which shows that the master's heart is still biased." ”

Aunt Lin said it delicately, and Master Shi listened happily, and both of them couldn't help laughing.

"Speaking of Wanrong's marriage, does the master have a suitable person in his heart?" Aunt Lin took advantage of the fact that Master Shi was in a good mood at this time and asked.

"I really can't think of the right one for a while, this thing can only be planned slowly."

"Isn't it! In the past, the threshold of our family was broken, and it was not easy to find someone who knew the right thing and knew the roots. ”

"The door is right, I never believe in this, you also understand that Zhong Yuan's life is not the kind of person who worships the high and the low. As long as you have a good heart and a good relationship, and you can live a peaceful life with Wanrong, I think it's very good. It's just that the foundation of the family business is barren, but let's just accompany more dowry. ”

Aunt Lin knew what the teacher wanted, and she was never a high-ranking official, rich and glorious; It is these ordinary, peaceful and stable lives. It is precisely because of this that most of the Liu family's divorce will be tabooed by the master. is hesitating, only to listen to the teacher,

"If there is a suitable one among those relatives you know, it will also be made."

When Aunt Lin was asked, she had a lot of worries in her heart, so she had to say carefully: "Master, the young master of the Liu family is very good." ”

"Which Liu family?" The teacher was also interested.

"Is it the Liu family that I told our family once before?"

Master Shi's brows suddenly tightened, and he said with a slight disgust: "Their family? ”

Sure enough, as Aunt Lin expected, Master Shi really had some nostalgia for the Liu family.

"Forget about their family."

"I heard that the son of the Liu family has divorced, and he has also talked to us about our children before." Aunt Lin still wants to be tempted.

"It's because of the divorce that it can't be done. If the woman withdraws from the marriage, but the Liu family withdraws from the marriage by herself, it is difficult for them to boast of being clear in the court, without any gentlemanly bearing. Wan Rong can't marry this kind of family. If something bad happens to us in the future, won't they want to take a break from Wanrong? After saying this, Master Shi regretted it, and if he didn't agree, he wouldn't agree, so why curse himself.

"The master is also confused, our family is honest and upright for the court."

When the teacher heard that Aunt Lin helped him to make up for what he said wrongly, he no longer struggled. only said: "A few days ago, at the gate of the palace, Liu Ge Lao came to talk to me from afar. ”

"Elder Liu Ge has already mentioned it to the master?"

"Not really, why is he embarrassed to talk to me about this? just roundabout to greet the family, and finally asked Wanrong if it was okay. I knew what he was thinking at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to it. It's just ......" Master Shi strung back and forth, thought of a person, and asked: "The Liu family's divorce has only been a matter of two or three days, and you have never had anything to do with them, how do you know the news?" ”

Aunt Lin told the truth and said, "Laneige told me just now. ”

Master Shi had already guessed that Aunt Li had come at night, and there must be something. Sure enough, there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. Needless to say, Aunt Lin also understood that all this was Aunt Li's idea, so she simply said to Aunt Lin: "The matter of the Liu family, you don't need to mention it again, it must not work, even if Wanrong stays in the boudoir for the rest of her life, she can't be married to someone like that." ”

Sure enough, things froze. Aunt Lin also had a little embarrassment on her face. Seeing this, Master Shi comforted: "You don't have to be embarrassed, Wanrong is my daughter, can you still find a good family?" I'll just go and explain things to Laneige in a few days. ”

After all, Aunt Lin still felt a little uncomfortable, and she had been with Aunt Li for 20 years, and the first time she asked for her own thing failed to go her way.

Aunt Lin was in a daze, and Master Shi explained: "You are too emotional, you can't help everything, and not everyone can help!" ”

"Sir, what do you say?"

"Laneige's affairs, don't meddle, she's not as simple as you think."

Of course, Aunt Lin only knew that Aunt Li was not so gentle and deferential on the surface. But I don't understand the meaning of the teacher's words.

Seeing Aunt Lin, Master Shi didn't ask why, waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal, let's rest early." ”

The husband and wife entered the East Warm Pavilion one after the other.

In the middle of the night, Aunt Lin couldn't sleep a little, tossing and turning. Every time, he always turned over gently, for fear of waking up the teacher.

"Still thinking about that?" Master Shi asked.

"Yuxin turned over and argued with the master."

"Since you can't sleep, get up and talk to you."

"The lord has to go to discuss matters tomorrow, and the court still has to deal with the business in the yamen, so rest early." Yuxin is an idler, she has nothing to do during the day, and she can sleep when she is tired. ”

"You can't sleep, and I can't sleep either."
